The Plan (Part 4)

    Meanwhile, Elsa stood in the kitchen of her shared entertainment room, staring down at a pile of books that she had borrowed from the library, trying to figure out a solution to her problem. But she was getting so frustrated! Even though the books boasted of their answers to all questions concerning magic, not a single one had what she was looking for.
   In anger, she threw one of the books into a corner of the room. That's when she heard a voice coming from the doorway. "Geez, Snowflake! What'd that book ever do to you?!"
   She turned to see Jack standing there, leaning on his winter staff, smirk adorning his face. She wouldn't admit it, but she thought he actually looked really cute when he did that.
   "Please, Jack! I am not in the mood."
   "Clearly. Remind me not to piss you off!"
   "What do you want, Jack?"
   "Was in the neighborhood. Thought I'd stop by. So what's up, Blondie?"
   "It's none of your business!" She snapped.
   He raised an eyebrow. "Right. So a little birdie told me you were making a replica of Fairy Godmother's wand. Why's that?"
   "Who told you that?!" Elsa snapped.
   "I was watching you."
   "Are you stalking me?!" Elsa shouted.
   "No. I usually stay up late cuz I can't sleep. I saw you and that guy who always dresses like he's going to a funeral talking to Fairy Godmother's kid. Got curious so I listened, heard some stuff, and came to see if I could help."
   "You? Help me?"
   "Why not? You're on a rescue mission to get the queen, right? I want in."
    "Why would I want your help?"
    "Well, I am a guardian. It's my job to help, remember? Also cuz why not? It means I get to spend more time with you."
    "Bestill my racing heart." Elsa said, sarcasm dripping from her words.
    That's when Olaf came rushing out of Elsa's room and jumped on the table. "Oh, he's so cute!" Jack said, grinning widely.
    "Elsa, I'm hungry!"
    "Wait. Your dog talks?"
    "Duh!" Olaf said.
    "Yea it's getting him to be quiet that's the trick!" Elsa said.
    Elsa grabbed a bowl of food, setting it in front of Olaf so she could zip up a vest on him.
   At that moment, Gideon walked in. "Els, I found backup." He stated. That's when Percival and Kiara walked in right behind him, both wearing armor. "Percy's obviously gonna help since he doesn't want anything to happen to Ruby and Kiara wants the chance to prove herself. What's Jack doing here?"
    "Apparently joining us." Elsa remarked.
    "Ok. That's actually really awesome! Now, as for our other little problem....Kiara had a solution."
    "How?"
    "It's simple." Kiara said. "Years ago, I learned I have the power of reanimation. Basically, I can return the power of anything to the object that possesses it. Hence, it doesn't lose its magic."
    "How does that help us?"
    "Easy. I just have you wear these crystal amulets like my people wear. They possess great power, one of them being able to absorb magic from the magic user. So, all I have to do is use the power of Atlantis to store your power in these amulets. Then, when we get to the Isle, I use my power of reanimation to return the power to them so you can use them."
    "Would your power even work in that realm?"
    "Of course. Ruby can still shift forms because it is a natural part of her. Well this is a natural part of me since I have Fae blessing. It prevents me from losing my power, no matter what."
    "You are...actually a genius. Let's do this."
    So, while they waited for the 3D printer to finish the replica of the wand, Kiara handed over the amulets to everyone. There were three left in her hands, presumably for Rose, Merlin, and Ruby. Soon, everyone felt their power being transferred into the amulets.
    "Just one question. What happens when we get back?"
    "Your powers will return to you the moment your feet touch this ground. Kiara explained.
    With that, Gideon grabbed the fake wand and Elsa grabbed Olaf as the group rushed back to the field to meet Lacey.
                            * * * * *
    "I don't like this." Lacey said as soon as they arrived. "Maybe you really should get my mom's help."
    "Lacey," Gideon took Lacey's hand in his, "trust me, we've got this. Just give us a little more time."
    She looked up at him and felt herself melting under his gaze. "I'll give you until sunrise then I tell my mom."
    "Thank you." He kissed her hand and she blushed.
    "Those two are totally into each other." Elsa muttered. "Why won't they just admit it?"
    Kiara smiled. "Just like how you and Jack are totally into each other and won't admit it?"
    Elsa's only response was to blush a deep crimson.
                            * * * * *
    A few minutes later, they arrived at Gothel's shop. Merlin was standing just outside the door next to Kilgharrah. That's when Ruby came out with the chest of weapons. Everyone started grabbing weapons and Kiara gave Merlin and Ruby their amulets. They felt the magic take over them.
   That's when they all looked at each other and nodded. "Let's do this."
   Then they rushed off to find Rose.
